Austin Travel Diary, Part 7: The “How to Rawk SxSW” Panel

My thanks to Rannie and MJ, who rescued me from an hour-long registration line and fast-tracked me so that they could have me perform the opening and closing number for their panel discussion titled How to Rawk SxSW, a guide for first-timers that show them how to make the most of their South by Southwest experience. After all these years, the accordion still opens all kinds of doors.

Here are the panelists from How to Rawk SxSW:

Here’s a photo that one “armiller” took of me playing the opening number, You Shook Me All Night Long:

And by popular demand (which means Rannie), here I am playing the closing number, Baby One More Time:
